Strengthening Initiatives from Women's Grassroots Groups that Respond to Climate Change in Mexico

Sociedad Mexicana Pro Derechos de la Mujer (Semillas) will work with Fondo de Accin Solidaria, Asociacin Civil (FASOL), an environmental fund that supports community organizations, to provide financial and technical support to Mexican grassroots organizations through its Gender and Environment Program.

Semillas, in partnership with FASOL, will manage a grant fund and award subgrants to grassroots organizations involved in women's rights and the environment.

Over the course of the grant, Semillas will broaden its base of financial support for the Gender and Environment Program.

The project aims to improve conditions of environmental sustainability to facilitate the achievement of gender equality. The grant will directly benefit 3,500 individuals in at least ten states throughout Mexico. The project activities will indirectly impact 17,500 family and community members.
